The district encompasses 53.42 square
miles and is located primarily in northwest Dallas County with a smaller
portion in southeast Denton County. The school district's boundaries are
not the same as municipal boundaries; therefore, Carrollton-Farmers Branch
Independent School District provides instructional services to children who
live in portions of Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, Dallas, and
Irving.
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent
School District's primary objective is providing a child-centered educational
program. The system prides itself on the first-rate quality of its schools.
An integral part of the dynamic, fast-growing Metrocrest, the district provides
classrooms where teachers can teach and children can learn. Community
involvement, parental support, dedicated staff members, and personalized
instruction contribute to making our schools excellent learning environments. A
diversified curriculum is available because the district's officials realize
the importance of tailoring instruction to meet all students' individual needs.
Offerings include Bilingual education, gifted education, fine arts, special
education, English as a Second Language, vocational education, computer
technology, business education, and advanced placement courses. Students may
also participate in a number of co-curricular activities and
athletics.
Because our district values and
appreciates continual professional development, hundreds of opportunities
are available to support any teacher at whatever stage of learning he or she
may be. It is a source of pride to see the value that our teachers place on
lifelong learning.
Lewisville ISD has an enrollment of over

construction phases are complete), 10 Middle Schools (6-8 grade), and 31
Elementary Schools (K-5 grade). The ISD also has a Career Center, a Learning
Center, and a Natatorium. Construction is underway for a north Carrollton
Middle School, and another learning center facility. 
Here is a scenario for sellers to avoid. You contact a real estate agent to list your home and the agent suggests that you might get more for your house than comparable homes on the market. The agent assures you that it only takes finding one person who is willing to pay your price!
Some agents approach a listing appointment as if they are bidding for your home. The unfortunate result is that you start out with an unrealistic opinion of your home's value. There is often a strong temptation to work with a person who says what you want to hear. An experienced, reputable real estate agent will back up their opinion of your home's value with hard data. The agent should give you information about the listing price of homes that are currently on the market, and recent selling prices of similar properties in your immediate area.
Even the most heroic marketing efforts won't work on a property that is obviously overpriced, (except in the most exaggerated of seller's markets.) Even if you find a buyer who is willing to pay more than your home is worth, the sale could fall apart when the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price. Listen to everything, but be careful!
